Blaine or sherman.

New YORK. april 21.-Anent the
statement which was published few days
ago, that Mr.. Whitelaw Reid. editor of the
New York Tribune, had written letter to
Mr.. Richard Smith or Mr.. Murat Halstead
OF the Cincinnati Comm. al-Gazette,
abandoning Mr.. Blaine and favoring Mr..
John Sherman for the Presidency in ISIS,
the semi-weekIy Tribune will contain a let
ter from Governor ". Hunt of Cornish
Flat, New Hampshire, asking the position
OF the Tribune. To this query the follow
ing reply is appended:
The editor Of he Tribune knows of no
such letter and the man who is said TO have
received it has already announced that he
never got any such letter. The Tribune ex-
poets TO support the nominee of the Nation
al Convention. 1t urged Mr.. Blaine four
years ago upon the convention as the best
man 10 nominate. 1t has seen no reason to
change its opinion, but is standing back a
little 10 see what other people have 10 say.
II the convention We're held now, Nr.
Blaine would undoubtedly be nominated.
II, however, a year hence the convention
hould prove 10 be for John Sherman, or
for Senator Allison, or for any other coed
Republican, the Blaine men would give him
just as hearty support as they know how"

Defective New Mexican Grants.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Upon the
recommendation Of the Surveyor-General
of New Mexico, Commissioner Sparks of
the General Land Office has ordered that
the tract known as the LAS Vegas grant"
in New Mexico be rc-surveyed.
The Surveyor-General, in his report upon
which the order Of re-survey was made,
says: THE present survey embraces
nearly 5Oo, 600 acres of land and is mani
festly indefensible;" that the papers show
n grant for agricultural purposes OF numer-
Gus specified allotments of lands, amount
ing to, perhaps, 10000 acres, the particular
arees of which several tracts can only be
determined by a survey" that 1.-THE remain
der of the land included in the out bounda-
rics specified was evidently intended for
past urage, and the grant provides that
these lands and their waters shall be free
to ALL" that "it was not the custom OF the
Mexican Government to grant in fee pas
ture land to the extent of nearly half n mil
lion acres. as claimed in this case.'
For these and other reasons the land
should be rc-surveyed and patent issued
for the land which was actually granted for
agricultural purposes, thus settling the
vexed questions oftitle and restoring TO the
public domain and actual settlement large
body of desirable land.
Las Vegas, one of the most important
towns of the Territory of New Mexico, is
located on this tract.

SAYS terrific tornado swept over the
northern part of Vernvir county Tuesday
night. The clouds were plaIn..v visible
here, passing only about eight miles uTh'
this city. The tornado seemed to come
down the Marmaton river from the Kansas
line, dealing death and destruction wher
ever it struck. AS far as can be learned the
first place it touched was in Metz township,
passing through Metz, Usage and Blue
Mound Townships. Fences, houses barns,
and everything in the line of the storm,
which was about half a mile wide, were
picked up, rent into splinters and cast
down hundreds of yards away. Trees were
torn up by the roots, over thirty houses
were destroyed and about fifteen persons
were killed.

The Veteran Clown.

/ wandered to the circus, Tom, /
sat beneath the tent, / saw the human
serpent in his wild contortions bent;
/ saw the clown who roamed around
with eyes that streamed in woe-he
sprung the same old gags he used
some twenty years ago. The living
skeleton was there who weighed some
forty pounds, the royal Bengal tigers
crouched and uttered doleful sounds:
Circassian girls who came from Cork
and let their tresses grow, and snid
their photos just the same as twenty
years ago. Then spawned horses
galloped round the beaten
sawdust tracks and spawned
riders changed their clothes
while standing on their backs. the
horses made just as big a splurge
and travelled just as slow as in the
shows we used to see some twenty
years ago. The girl who fooled with
sleepy snakes, the girl with snowy
hair, the spotted men, and women
fat and giants tall were there. The
hungry lion walked his cage and
tried to look as though he hadn't
done the same old thing twenty years
ago. Some warlike braves came out
and howled and sang battle song
they sang so badly that / feebly
reached and struck my chestnut
gong-and then they chased some
cowboys round, as per the
wild west show, and charged
the same old coach they charged
twenty years ago. I've made a SOL
emn vow that death will place his
clammy hand upon my marble brow
before to any circus tent this form of
mine shall go, to hear the chestnuts
that l heard some twenty years ago.
I've sworn off on the human snake,
the sad, heartrending clown, the sala-
mander chewing fire, the dwarf in
greasy gown, the man who walks the
slackened wire, while supers cheer
below, and all the other snaps /
knew some twenty years ago.-Ne-

Give Them a Chancei

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
~ When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumo-
MIA, catarrh, consumption or any OF
the family of throat and nose and
head and lung distractions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid of. There
is just one sure way to get rid of
them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell you at 75 cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.

OUR MAIL SERVICE.

Our mail service is not what il
should be In many important regards.
The schedule between Portland and
this city should be shortened, so that
the mail should get here at two or, at
latest, three In the afternoon. We
ought to have a daily mail direct to
Tacoma and Seattle, instead of the
ridiculous method of sending Sound
mail TO Portland, where it comes
half way back here and then over to
its destination. We should have a
daily mail to Gray's harbor via Oys-
terville. At present Astoria's Gray's
harbor mail has to go around via
Montesano.
These things are imperative wants:
they are among the needs, the first
demands of Astoria. OF course an in
crease in service would cost more,
but what is a government for if it
isn't TO meet the just requirements of
the governed.
Astoria doesn't ask this as a charity
or benefaction. We request il as a
business right, as our just due. as an
Improvement and advance that our
Importance justifies us in asking.
This Is an important mail center:
seventy-five postoffices get their mail
from Astoria: the receipts Of the Of
fee for the last year were a thousand
dollars In excess of any year in the
history of the city: the business
of the postoffice is constantly
growing, and DOW iustifies more
help than Postmaster Bell is
allowed. Were it not for the kindly
assistance of his daughters every af-
ternoon the distribution of the mail
would be at least an hour later than
it is even now; but this assistance is
not paid for.
We are not alone in this. In San
Diego, Cal, the postoffice is actually
sustained by private subscriptions by
San Diego's citizens. With a treas
ury bursting with money; with states
men trying to think up some way Of
stopping the golden stream from
filling up the government vaults, the
government appears too niggardly to
properly conduct a business that il
has taken charge of. As long as it
runs the mail service of the country
it ought to treat communities Justly.
Justice to Astoria would give us the
improvements THE AsToRIAN asks
for.
This country is not standing still.
1t is advancing all the time and our
mail delivery is one of the things
nearest the people. it affects our bus
iness interests, our standing, our con-
venience and prosperity in a hun
dred ways, and should be remedied.
A government that won't attend to
the wants of the citizens and restricts
progress and keeps down growth is
next to no government at all.
